"I have to sit....for TWO HOURS....in front of ultra-VIOLENT light"

The transition to winter time happened last sunday and the long dark sure has me feeling like poor Oskaar

#art
A painting of an anthro lynx with somewhat distressed expression talking to the viewer. The scene is very dark, with the lynx barely illuminated by light seemingly coming from the direction of the viewer. They're wearing winter clothes

A big fluffy floppy-eared mutt, the kind that people on the street would go "oh, a bear!" at. And got a lot of comments on his spotted tongue

Outdoorsy, soft and cuddly for family although I never did get him to like strangers. A paiiin to brush. LOVES eating leaves from a particular kind of shrub.

Psssst, want some dragons?

These two scalies at Eurofurence didn't find a home at the art show, so I could be convinced to exchange em for a couple of drinks

(The second one is partially metallic!)

Two artworks on a white tablecloth, both of them featuring a headshot of a dragon. Closeup of the second dragon artwork, showing that the golden crown on the dragon is made with metallic paint

A Gift, Wrapped 🌹

~ Savor the moment while it lasts ~

One of the pieces I'm taking with me to Eurofurence's #art show! See you all there!!!
A watercolour painting of an anthropomorphic lynx lying nude on his back. His hands are tied behind his back, and large red ribbons are tied around the torso, neck and both legs. He's lying on top of a red bedsheet and a circle of light pink petals is placed around his head in a circle. He's smiling softly, seemingly relaxed and waiting.

POV: your girlfriend is a highland cow

One of two #artfight pieces wrapped up yesterday, featuring @suncloudart.bsky.social and their partner

#art
A drawing of two anthro women, a lynx and a highland cow, with the cow leaning close to the lynx. In the corner of the drawing is a smaller drawing of the cow's face from the lynx's perspective, the cow's nose comically large due to perspective.

The delightful, friend-shaped kittenbee is here to help you keep the pests out of your garden!

Maybe.

She'll pick up hunting eventually

Another #artfight piece, this time of @eskiworks.bsky.social 's kittenbeeeeeeee.

#art
A kitten-bee hybrid (body of a kitten, colouration, wings and rear body a bee) stands over a thirp, its paw outstretched as if it's planning to swat it. The kittenbee seems hesitant and the thirp unbothered as it chews on a leaf scrap

I was gifted this wonderful weighted lynx plushie at NFC back in february.

This week, I took it to a local furry event, taking photos of it as a sort of "bab on adventure" series to send back at the gifter afterwards
A photo of a plushie blue lynx on top of a wooden table. The plushie is wearing sunglasses. A photo of a fursuiter with a blue lynx plushie perched on their shoulder. The fursuiter is carrying a fish-shaped plushie in their pawhands and is looking at the camera. A photo of a large bonfire in the background, with a blue plushie lynx in the foreground looking at the viewer, its paw posed upward, as if it were praising the fire A photo of a red van with the blue plushie lynx placed on the van's roof, wearing sunglasses. Text is written on the side of the van using painter's tape: FREE FEMBOYS

Good lord, figuring out how to post about such awkwardly-proportioned image is a pain 😭

The sketches for the design! Long dragons felt like the perfect fit for such a loooong design

I had the pleasure of doing the sponsor wristband for this year's zen-garden-themed NordicFuzzCon.

So if you happened to sponsor them, you now have a wristband with art from yours truly!

#art
Photo of a wristband on white background. On its outer side is an artwork with the head of a chipper dragon looking at the viewer. Also visible is the inner side of the wristband, featuring an artwork of white fish on red background. Photo of a wristband on white background, same wristband as on previous photo but rotated to show more of the artwork. On the outer edge are now visible two rat-mice-hybrids (the mascots of NFC) that seem to be in freefall. The full artwork on the outer side of the wristband, featuring a long eastern dragon spanning most of the artwork's length, with two rat-mice-hybrids in freefall but looking happy.

Bluesky has this neat feature where you can click on a hashtag in the profile of someone to see the posts from tagged with that - essentially allowing an ad-hoc art gallery link

EXCEPT IF ONLY I REMEMBERED TO TAG THE ARTWORK I POST REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 😡

Going through the long dark of winter while being a plant parent is certainly An Experience
An anthropomorphic lynx wearing a scarf and white winter jacket, holding a potted plant in his oversized cybernetic hands. The plant is wilted and the lynx is squinting as if displeased by the weather. Text by the plant reads "FATHER, I CRAVE SUNLIGHT", stylized to make it slightly more chaotic. Text by the lynx reads "likewise, little one, likewise".

👁 BE NOT AFRAID (to draw (shit)) 👁

Pretty much every artist is familiar with the sense of dread a blank canvas can evoke. So here's your reminder to boldly go forth, trust in yourself, make mistakes, be messy, be vulnerable.

This trio of dragons will be for sale at NFC's Creative Expose!
A colourful portrait of a dragon looking at the viewer. It has massive horns covered in eyes, and small wings sprouting from its cheeks, giving it a somewhat angelic appearance. Between the tips of its horns is the text "BE NOT AFRAID". A colourful drawing of a long dragon seemingly floating in the air. It has several eyes along its long heck and small wings on its back which also have eyes on top of them. Around its head is a halo formed of its horns growing together, giving it a somewhat angelic appearance. Superimposed upon the creature's long body is the text "BE NOT AFRAID". A colourful portrait of a dragon looking towards the viewer. It has massive horns with pink ribbons hanging from them and it's wearing a blindfold with a single eye on it, looking towards the viewer. There are five more eyes floating above its head in a half-circle formation, forming a sort of halo of eyes. Above that halo is the text "BE NOT AFRAID". The previous three art pieces placed on a table together, ready to be exhibited.

As has been a sort of annual tradition by now, I designed a custom gingerbread cookie cutter for this christmas.

And then spent a looong December evening cutting out, baking and decorating (with help from partner) an armada of lionesses.
An orange plastic 3D printed gingerbread cutter in the shape of a lioness's head next to a gingerbread cookie cut with that very cutter. An alternative view of an orange plastic 3D printed gingerbread cutter in the shape of a lioness's head next to a gingerbread cookie cut with that very cutter. A table covered in gingerbreads in the shape of a lioness's head, about half of them decorated with white and yellow glazes.

You know you're playing DnD with furries when your party is converges into becoming a zoo

A group picture of a party of animals, from left to right - a tiny T-rex with a chef hat roaring, a cow with gold decorations on its horns, holding a glowing sword in its mouth, a big crow with a wizard hat, a pink lion looking at the viewer with a halo circle around its head, a tiny red lizard on the lion's rump, a cheetah with plants growing by its feet and behind it a dashed shilouette of a larger feline

Janthir Wilds brought me great feline delights by not only bringing a bigger, fluffier version of the warclaw mount, but also adding a tiny kitten version of it.

This year I also ticked off something off my to-do list: trying out linocut printmaking! It's been there for a while and the convention's hiking theme felt like a perfect pairing with the rough, rugged look that linocut prints can have

They were used both as con clip art, and exhibited at art show
A selection of linocut prints laid out on the table. The prints are mostly back-and-white, some of them partially sanguine, and they are all animal-themed A display of an art show panel, with a single large watercolour painting, and a selection of linocut prints at its lower edge strung up on a rope. What a layout nightmare!
